new pic

figuring things out.... slowly

after a low point I think I'm starting to get the feel for this program. in the past week I shot about four different photos, went to an artist lecture, a symposium, NY to a Gregory Crewdson Opening (and like a hundred galleries), shot four different photos, and got my head out of my ass... here's three of them because while these might not be my favorites the fourth one sucked. have fun!

hmmm...

thinking too much

finally started working! realized that I have been thinking so much about my photos that I wasn't actually making any. hopefully this will push me to just f'n do it, and keep working. had other photos in mind, but space I wanted to use wasn't exactly available, so I had to make do. not sure how I feel about what's going on in these, but I'm just happy I made something...

well it's been exactly one month since the residency ended, and I've been doing school work everyday, granted most of it has been academic. I have been reading books on film, and continuing to watch movies. I have definitely changed my viewing habits. in the past I would watch simply for story and for special effects, but now I find my self viewing with a more critical eye, paying attention to angle of the camera and how each shot was constructed. while I see this benefiting my work in the long run, I find it muddling up my thought process now, I've begun over thinking things (which is a problem for me anyways) the only photographic work I have done since the residency has been test shots trying out new ideas for photos to be taken later with a bit more content, and meaning. anyways...
